Summary |
Stress-X and Natural Rest is a Stress Relief Supplement and “Burn Out System”, according to the product’s website. The formula is advertised as a natural system designed to help manage the effects of stress that can take their toll on the body. According to the advertisement, the product contains a blend of minerals, vitamins and amino acids in order to replenish the system, since stress can use up many of the body’s nutrients, often leading to fatigue.
This product is actually two separate formulas – Stress-X is the daytime formula meant to help induce feelings of calmness, and Natural Rest is meant to be taken at night, prior to going to bed, in order to promote deep sleep and relaxation. We will look carefully at the ingredients contained in the formula below to gain a better understanding of how they might be effective.

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
As mentioned above, the formulas for Stress-X and Natural Rest contain a blend of vitamins and minerals, amino acids, herbal extracts and several proprietary blends.
Looking at the product’s label, Stress-X appears to be quite similar to most multivitamins, as it consists of B Vitamins, Vitamins A, C and D, Zinc and several essential minerals, plus the Amino Acid Chelate. Natural Rest also contains vitamins and minerals, plus some commonly used herbs such as Valerian Root and Black Cohosh. We will take closer look at the most abundant ingredients below.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
B Vitamins are necessary for energy and growth, and are thought to also be good for the hair, skin and nails. It is important to get this vitamin daily, and it can be obtained through various food sources. Some are used to support blood sugar levels and keep the digestive system supported, and all provide a source of antioxidants.
Chelate may lower the absorption of fat into the body and promote lean muscle. However, high doses can cause some gastrointestinal discomfort, and nausea.
Black Cohosh is an herb that is used in treatments for menopause, as well as colds, arthritis, diarrhea, and other conditions. It is widely available, but has recently been associated with many side effects, such as liver damage, yellowing skin and loss of appetite.

Use of this product may be appealing to those looking for a natural solution to treat symptoms of stress. According to the website, two tablets of Stress-X can be taken once or twice daily, as needed. The usage instructions for Natural Rest are simply “two to four tablets as needed or desired.”
For individuals who generally do not take a daily multi-vitamin, this product may be useful since it contains nutrients that are required by the body for daily intake. The Stress-X formula appears to be benign, although really not much different than a multi-vitamin, so it may not be necessary or helpful for those who already take them. However, the formula for Natural Rest contains ingredients that could be potentially harmful; consumers may be better off with a single formula containing safe and effective ingredients.

| Final Thoughts |
|
The combined formulation for Stress-X and Natural Rest may help those who are suffering from symptoms of stress and insomnia due to a lack of sufficient vitamins and minerals by increasing the needed dosage. However, most people may benefit by simply taking a daily multi-vitamin and adding supplement that contains the mineral form of lithium into their routine to help elevate the mood and relieve stress. This is particularly efficient when combined with Orotate.
Orotate is organic, and functions as a “carrier”, transporting natural lithium directly to where it is needed in the brain. This means that individuals can start feeling better, more quickly, and with relatively little added lithium in their bloodstream. We recommend that consumers seek companies that feature free samples.
